Truthful, and to the point.

[GoldenPup]

The “Gimme, Gimme” segment lines up for yet another “Gimme”. Idiots!!

EXCELLENT read!

I seldom eat fast food. These activities make me think I will avoid them entirely in the future.

I don't want some disgruntled McDonald's employees spitting in my hamburger and my drink.

That sign should have been excerpted.

These fast food beggars are really pissing me off. There's so much turnover in the industry that if you show up for your shift on time and hustle, you'll be promoted to a leadership position within a couple of months. Within two years (if not sooner) you're a shift manager making well above minimum wage. Admittedly, still a pretty crappy job considering your employees and not so great pay, but it's a damn sight better than 7 bucks an hour. Put in your time in management and then you can get the hell out of McDonalds and head over to Pizza Hut, after that you may need a college degree, but you'll have the skills to be an assistant manager at an OUtback. And if you do that job well you can go on to be a full manager and eventually a district manager for that excellent corporation. And it all starts with "do you want fries with that?"

Lazy, shiftless bastards. And I have news for the baby's mother. The last thing she wants is 15 bucks an hour. She'll lose her WIC and free healthcare for her baby. She's better off at minimum wage. Just don't work to hard, or she'll be promoted and lose her government bennies.

And uttering "that's for Trayvon."

I avoid fast food entirely since the Zimmerman trial ended.

“is it your belief that all you have to do is download a child and it automatically becomes someone else’s responsibility to cover the costs?”

Sounds like my step daughter...no education, no skills, no job, no husband but a parent.

The New York franchises ought to raise their wage to $25/hour, then lay off all those they can’t afford at that rate.

“Cavuto segment exposed the viewers to the citizen and voter mentality that can lead to someone like Obama in the White House “leading” our nation”

CAVUTO = Old School
OBAMA = New School

Trying to reason with a democrat is a useless endeavor....that’s why I simply stopped associating with them at all. I don’t feel anything friendly about a group of stupid ass people who think the government is around to give them free sh#t and businesses are around to furnish jobs to morons!!!

Just playing devil’s advocate here ....

Should a McDonald’s employee in NYC make the same as a McD employee in El Paso, TX? Quite a stark difference in cost of living between the two places. But currently, beginning employees make the same in both places.

(Fast) Food for thought. :-)

th sisimplistic solution would be to close down entirely. let people a)do without the service, and b) the employees will get 0% of a lot, which, to a lib, is better then 100% of something...

[Dubh_Ghlase]

This will inspire some entrepreneur / inventor to come up with an automated process to make and dispense fast-food to order. You then will pay at the window with credit, debit, EBT, or cash and your food comes out the chute, untouched by human hands. No more fast-food workers, just someone to load the bins and clean them at closing...

Now whatchugonnado?

As somebody notable once said, what difference does it make?

I just wish there had been fast food jobs when I was a teen, when the minimum wag was about $1 an hour, I would have relished that extra spending money to buy gas for my old jalopy.

Of course, once I got grown and kids came along, I got educated and got more substantial jobs to live up to my responsibilities as a husband and parent. But that was before the social justice crowd made a cottage industry out of having babies for fun and profit.

Remember when Pelosi and the Dems snarked at Bush for creating “McJobs”?

In the Era of Baraq, fast food is the new career path intended to support the mythical “family of four” in a middle class lifestyle.
